Fiddler on the Roof

Winner of nine Tony awards, this beautiful musical play tells the story of the village of Anatevka, a Jewish settlement in Czarist Russia. Though poor in possessions, the family of Tevye, a milkman, is rich in daughters and happiness. Traditional values face changing social mores and growing anti-Semitism as the daughters fall in love and marry. The love stories of the play are captivating, as each daughter makes a different choice. The poignancy of the story and the beauty of the music have made this play a tradition for musical theater audiences everywhere, but especially powerful on the intimate Compass Rose stage.
